quotes that made glorified prostitutes laugh. and one cry.

by glorified prostitute i mean professional polo player.

we were drinking red wine with ice in the apartment of a friend of la francesa´s friend. i noticed that the apartment was a bit disorganized - there was a lamp on the floor that provided more "mood" than lighting. there were some cardboard boxes. so i said...

che, recién te mudaste acá? porque te iba a preguntar quién era tu interior decorator!

with that you have no clue how much they laughed. he had been living there for either two years or five, it wasn´t too clear to me which. then i tried to save myself by saying no, es que vi que tenés cajas de carton y está un poco desordenado... i guess maybe it surprised them because ladies in the world of professional polo are to be seen and not heard?

and then the inhabitant of the apartment said that he needs to get new furniture but he couldn´t get rid of the big thing in the corner because it came with the apartment. so i said...

bueno, es muy interesante!

and of course, they laughed again. BUT I MEANT IT FOR REAL! i´d never seen anything similar. of course they took the word interesting for the tactful way of saying "nice."

then, do not ask how but it had to do with a fountain of champagne, another professional polo player (one that la francesa said is one of the best in the world with a handicap of 8) was saying to me chupámela! chupámela!

i recoiled in disgust. absolutely not! then he tells me pero sos mujer, te tiene que gustar! so i say to him...

nunca lo probaste vos?

and then he says, no pero conozco mujeres que les gusta... and then i say,

sí, porque las pagás!
